Okay, we will note that. The University of Limerick, a clear audited opinion, with attention drawn to the pensions issue again. The university procured a material level of goods and services during the year without competitive tendering. We will certainly be coming back to UL as part of our work programme. The next item is Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga. It monitors compliance with the provisions of the Language Act 2003, a clear audited opinion. The next item is the Health and Social Care Professional Council, a clear audited opinion, and again attention is drawn to the pensions liability issue by the Comptroller and Auditor General. The following item is the Regulator of the National Lottery Regulator's Administration account, a clear audited opinion. Then we come to the National Lottery Fund, a clear audited opinion.

Will the Comptroller and Auditor General just explain that to us? We know the regulator is paid by the lottery operator, as I understand it. It is meant to regulate the new games or new contracts that come up. That is a small item.

Camelot, the operator of the national lottery, every so often transfers money. What is the flow a month? Where does it go?
